Oh yeah. That's going to be REALLY effective. Maybe the shooters will laugh hard enough not to think of shooting where the textbook ISN'T ... even assuming you can find enough eight-inch-thick textbooks to give every kid one the first day a wacko comes in with a rifle. Oh, wait, that already happened. Several times. Silly me.
An Oklahoma Highway Patrol spokesman was skeptical.
"He probably needs to take a look at some ballistics tests," Lt. Pete Norwood said.
Yeah. What he said....

For several years now, the conventional wisdom has been for girls to fight their attackers. Parents and police finally caught on that, chances are, the assailant was going to kill the child anyway, so what was left to lose?
I just see Mr. Crozier's comments as an extension of the principle, albeit a poor one. If the crazed gunman is going to shoot kids anyway, the kids might as well try to take him down in the process.
I'm all for encouraging heroism, and discouraging sheep.

It's not a *solution*, but if it's there, in front of you, and the situation is right....
Remember teddy (yes, I know he wasn't shot with a 308, but who says the next shooting will be with a 308?)

Issuing all the children _six_ inch thick textbooks should do the trick just nicely.
And, of course, a "Sponge Bob Square Pants" kevlar helmet.
